This isn't a minor inconvenience like the occupy movement. Whether average Canadians like it or not, due to supreme court reinforced legal standing, Aboriginals do have the country by the shorthairs. The government could learn from industry that they cannot just steamroll through this situation (not that industry is perfect but they are coming around). For the future of Canada over the next 200 years, this issue is as important as Northern Sovereignty, if not more.
